What consideration has the Welsh Government given to developing a vocational education and training strategy for Wales?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education | Answered on 25/10/2024

We accepted the recommendations earlier in the year from the Vocational Qualifications Review including proposals for an approach to ‘made-for-Wales’ vocational qualifications.

We are progressing discussions about how best to align these with related strategic commitments, including our economic mission, net zero agenda, related skills development requirements and increasing participation.

We are working strategically with both Qualifications Wales and the recently established Medr to progress these recommendations, emphasising greater collaboration between education providers, industry and employers to ensure learners are better placed to develop the skills they need to reach their full potential.
